NOTE: This information only
applies to you if you
are taking Physics 213 for Honors credit.
For
those of you intending to use Physics 213 to satisfy your
James Scholar
requirement for an "honors" course, this is what you must
do:
1. a. You must obtain an Honors
Credit Learning Agreement from your
college office.
b. It
must then be signed
by the PHYS 213
Course director (and returned by you to
your college office).
The LAS James scholar program is
described here.
The Engineering James Scholar
program is described here (main
JS page)
and here
(specific info about the HCLA).
Students
in other colleges should consult their college office.
2. Complete
the three James Scholar assignments
by the dates and times indicated next to each assignment
(see below). The
assignments will involve simple web-research, reading of
articles, and simple
calculations. We hope you will find them
thought-provoking, and that they give
you a deeper appreciation for thermal phenomena and their
implications/applications
to some of the latest cutting edge research and
technology.
3. The expected
assignment length is 1½
- 2 pages.
One short page is not sufficient.
It should be single-spaced, 12 point font (Times New
Roman is preferred).
5. Your
assignments must be turned in electronically in PDF, TEXT, or Microsoft Word
2003 or later versions.
Deposit each
assignment here
by the dates given below.
The Filename should be “Your Name Physics 213 JS
assignment #n”; please also include your name/NetID at
the top of the document itself as well.
A word of
advice:
If you find
that you do not have time to do the JS work, just don’t do
it. You will
only lose your JS standing.
If you cheat, by copying or other method, you
stand to lose a lot more.
(Yes, we have
caught JS cheaters recently.)
Plagiarism is a violation
of university academic
integrity policies. If you are caught plagiarizing, you
will be subject to
disciplinary action.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Due by 5:00 pm
Thursday, Mar 15
2. Due by 5:00 pm
Thursday, April 5
3. Due by 5:00 pm

You will be given JS
credit if all
three assignments are completed satisfactorily.
